Astronauts Ride Rockets into Space
Astronauts go to space by riding in powerful rockets that blast off from Earth. These rockets use tons of fuel to push upward really fast, breaking through the sky and into space. Once they’re high enough, the rocket lets go of extra parts, and the astronauts continue their journey in a spacecraft. It’s like riding a super-fast elevator straight into the stars!
Spacecraft Keep Astronauts Safe
Inside the spacecraft, astronauts have everything they need to breathe, eat, and stay safe in zero gravity. The ship protects them from space’s extreme cold, heat, and silence. When they finish their mission, they come back to Earth in special capsules that land with parachutes or splash down in the ocean. It’s an amazing round trip from our planet to the stars and back!
